Building a Doctor Information App: Filtering by Specialty

Archived from the Bravo community forum (2021–2026). Some answers may refer to older versions of Bravo.

I'm developing a mobile app that helps users find medical doctors. Here's how it will work:

  • Easy Navigation: The first screen displays a clear list of medical specialties (surgeons, physicians, etc.) with optional photos for better recognition.

  • Specialty Filtering: When a user clicks on a specific specialty, the app seamlessly filters and displays doctors who belong to that category on the second screen.

  • Doctor Details: Clicking on a doctor in the second screen takes the user to their detailed profile containing information like experience, education, and potentially contact details (depending on regulations and user privacy).

My Question: Building an API for Filtering

To achieve this functionality, I need to design an API (Application Programming Interface) that allows the app to interact with a database of doctors. My question is:

  • How can I structure the API to enable filtering doctors by specialty when a user selects one from the first screen?

I’m using Airtable as API

You can do that, @Abu Bakarr Jalloh. Take a look at the Airtable API documentation. Cheers, Karla

@Karla Fernandes | design & no-code Thank you very much for your help. can I achieve this through airtable views or multiple tables?

@Abu Bakarr Jalloh everything you do, you can do in several ways, so, it always depends what you want to do. Try it out and come back here once you have a problem, talk about theory is too vague.
